Abstract
Membranes are essential for a application ranging from potable water, process water and
wastewater treatment to power generation, tissue repair and other therapeutic procedures, protective
garments, pharmaceuticals production, food and beverage processing and packaging, and separations
needed for manufacturing chemicals, cars, electronics, fuels and a variety of other products.
Primary drivers for membrane sales include consumer demand for higher quality products, increased
regulatory pressures, deteriorating natural resources, and the need for environmental and economic
sustainability. In addition, RO and NF are experiencing high growth. This primarily is an expression
of the booming market in desalination, but also a reflection of increased application in process
water treatment and an interest in reclaiming "used" water.
This BCC report provides an in-depth analysis of the U.S. market for membrane technology across a
range of filtration types. Although the U.S. consumes about 40% of all membranes produced worldwide,
global activities are included where appropriate. This study contains a unique collection of
membrane-related information, analyses, forecasts and conclusions that are very hard or impossible
to find elsewhere.
